Chapter 362: No Two Needs
Qiu Sheng hesitated: "Should I really report this to the police? If this matter gets out of hand, not only me, but the entire Chenliu Palace will lose face."
Luo Qinghan: "Reporting to the authorities is just a way of saying it. I don't really want you to go to the government office to file a complaint. With your status, even if you really go to the government office, they may not dare to accept this case."
Qiu Sheng was unconsciously led by him and couldn't help asking, "Then what should I do?"
Luo Qinghan: "If I were you, I would go to the Prince of Chenliu to complain. Although the Prince of Chenliu is too ill to get out of bed, he is the most senior person in Chenliu County after all. As long as he comes forward, this matter will definitely be resolved quickly."
"But my father is still ill. If he knew about this, he would definitely be very angry."
Luo Qinghan: "You underestimate your father. He has seen more storms than you have. What you think is a disaster is just a piece of cake for him."
Qiu Sheng was still a little hesitant: "Will my father believe what I say? I don't have any evidence to prove my innocence. Rong Ji might even bite back and say that I raped her. Then I will be unable to defend myself."
"No matter how favored Rong Ji is, she is just an ordinary concubine, and you are the flesh and blood of the King of Chenliu. You two are a family, and Rong Ji is just an outsider. If the King of Chenliu were to choose one of you, he would definitely choose to trust you, his biological son. If he loses a concubine, he can always replace it. If he loses his son, it would be a great loss."
After all, Prince Chenliu didn't care about the truth of the matter; all he wanted was peace in his family.
If sacrificing a concubine could bring peace, he would definitely sacrifice Rongji without hesitation.
When Qiu Sheng left the palace, his mind was still a little dazed.
He sat in the carriage, constantly pondering what the prince had just said.
It was not until he returned to the palace that he suddenly remembered that he went to see the prince in order to distance himself from Rong Ji and prevent outsiders from knowing what had happened between him and Rong Ji.
Unexpectedly, instead of clearing up the relationship, the prince was able to extract more information.
Qiu Sheng felt a little annoyed, thinking that he was too careless, but then he felt fortunate that he had the prince to help him with advice, otherwise he would not know what to do next.
In order to avoid any further trouble, Qiu Sheng went to Changshengju that night.
He knelt on the ground and told King Chenliu everything about how Rong Ji threatened him.
He thought that after hearing this, his father would be angry and might even curse at him.
However, Prince Chenliu did not react at all, and even showed a hint of sneer.
"I didn't expect Young-hee to be so courageous."
Qiu Sheng was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Father, are you willing to believe me?"
The voice of the Prince of Chenliu was weak due to his illness, but his tone was firm: "You are my biological son. No one knows a son better than his father. Of course I believe you."
Qiu Sheng was deeply moved.
It's not that Prince Chenliu was not angry at all, but he had been in a high position for many years and had long developed the habit of not showing his emotions.
Among the three sons, the youngest son Qiu Sheng has the lowest presence, and King Chenliu usually spends the least energy on him.
But even so, Qiu Sheng is his own son, and he will never allow his son to be manipulated by others.
Prince Chenliu coughed twice, then said, "Don't worry about this matter. I will help you solve it properly."
Qiu Sheng said guiltily: "My father is sick, but he still worries about me. I am so unfilial."
Prince Chenliu: "I am already very pleased that you can tell me the truth about this matter."
Qiu Sheng felt even more ashamed.
If the Crown Prince had not reminded him, he would never have dared to tell his father about these things.
Thinking of this, he became even more grateful to the prince.
The next morning, news came from the Chenliu Palace that Rong Ji had fallen seriously ill and was sent to a farm in the countryside to recuperate overnight.
After Qiu Sheng knew this, he knew that Rong Ji might never come back.
He specially asked people to prepare generous gifts and went to the palace in person.
Luo Qinghan was looking at a map at the moment. When he saw Qiu Sheng coming, he said.
"I am going to choose a Feng Shui treasure land to build a mausoleum for my mother. You are familiar with Chenliu County. Can you help me find a place that is more suitable for building a mausoleum?"
Luo Qinghan has already drawn several circles on the map.
Those circles were actually all Feng Shui sites that Xiao Xixi had helped select. Every piece of land was good, and he was having trouble making a decision for a while.
Qiu Sheng glanced over and pointed at one of the circled areas and said.
"Let's go here. It's not far from Panyun City, and the surrounding scenery is also very beautiful. Most importantly, this piece of land originally belonged to the Shen family. Now that Shen Zhaoyi is buried here, it can be regarded as returning to her roots."
Luo Qinghan nodded: "Then let's do it here."
Qiu Sheng volunteered because he was grateful.
"If Your Highness trusts me, I can help you contact craftsmen who are good at building mausoleums."
Luo Qinghan simply said: "It's better not to trouble two masters for one thing. You can just help supervise the construction of the mausoleum. I will let the eldest prince cooperate with you to complete this task. After this is completed, I will reward you handsomely."
Seeing that he trusted him so much, Qiu Sheng was even more moved, and immediately bowed and said, "Yes!"
Next, Luo Qinghan briefly outlined his requirements for the mausoleum.
Qiu Sheng wrote them down one by one.
It just so happened that the eldest prince Luo Yechen came to see the crown prince.
The prince then took the opportunity to tell him about the construction of the mausoleum.
Luo Yechen was very dissatisfied: "This is your mother's mausoleum, what does it have to do with me? Why do you want me to help build it? I'm not your lackey!"
Luo Qinghan: "But you are in charge of the Ministry of Works now. You should know what the Ministry of Works does. Isn't it part of your Ministry of Works' job to build mausoleums for deceased concubines?"
Luo Yechen was speechless.
He left Shengjing for some time and almost forgot that he was still in charge of the Ministry of Works.
He felt very aggrieved: "Even if this is my job, why should I cooperate with Qiu Sheng? I am the eldest prince, my status is higher than his, shouldn't he cooperate with me?"
Luo Qinghan: "Have you ever built a mausoleum?"
Luo Yechen: "No."
"Are you familiar with Chenliu County?"
"Not familiar."
"Do you know where I can contact the craftsman?"
"have no idea."
Luo Qinghan: "With your clueless attitude, what qualifications do you have to ask others to cooperate with you? If you want others to cooperate with you, you must first show your ability to convince others. Don't always think of using your status to pressure others. Isn't that childish?"
Luo Yechen was almost furious.
But he couldn't find any words to refute, and his handsome face turned red.
Xiao Xixi sat nearby and watched the show. Luo Yechen, as the eldest brother, was scolded by his younger brother every other day.
It's really pitiful for him to be the eldest brother in this situation!
Luo Yechen noticed that she had been looking at him, and he couldn't help but get angry and glared back at her fiercely.
"What are you looking at?!"
